Frequently asked

Is this the same as cassava fufu flour?

No — this is potato starch, a different ingredient from cassava-based fufu flour. It's often used alongside cassava or plantain fufu to improve texture, or on its own as a soup and sauce thickener.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes — potato starch is naturally gluten-free.

How much should I use to thicken a soup?

Start with a tablespoon mixed into a little cold water, stir into the hot soup, and add more gradually until you reach the consistency you want.
